Slow
I have five pieces of backing music composed.
I have some lyrics (of a sort) to go over them.
I have the time and equipment to record and mix them.
Unfortunately I'm
(1) Very good at inventing distractions
(2) Dealing with a lot of bureaucratic shit
(3) Suffering from a six-week cold
(4) Thus unable to sing
(5) Far more nerishly excited by the prospect of redesigning my virtual studio for the fifth time in a month than actually using it
(6) Going through my annual period of depression, and
(7) Really, very good at inventing distractions
However, I'm hereby making a solomn promise to my blog that I'll start recording within the next 24 hours.
That's the trouble with having no god to be ashamed in front of, no social circle to be pressured by, and no neurotic need to make my parents proud. The only person pushing me is me.
And I'm not very pushy.

You must have the most relaxed parents ever. Lots of parents I know would gladly push their kids...some right over the edge!
ReplyDeleteHere's some unsolicited advice on your troubles:
(1) Very good at inventing distractions
Use a checklist to keep you focused on what needs to be done
(2) Dealing with a lot of bureaucratic shit
Wear boots! Focus! The quicker and more efficient you are at dealing with all that crap, the sooner you can take a shower after to clean off the filth! You'll feel (and smell) much better!
(3) Suffering from a six-week cold
Eat chicken soup! And get well soon.
(4) Thus unable to sing
Have you thought about humming or doing some scatting? Perhaps utilize your experience from Arabia to incorporate some ululating in your music? Maybe some good old fashioned beatboxing!
(5) Far more nerishly excited by the prospect of redesigning my virtual studio for the fifth time in a month than actually using it
Start small. Do one thing; then the next; and build upon that.

Open the curtains and get some sunshine! Just be sure to put on pants, in case the pervs across the street are looking into your room through their binoculars and telescope.
(7) Really, very good at inventing distractions
Stick to the checklist!
